I am sure they would! but that isn't what the law says. Its a $25k DEDUCTION. If someone earned $125k salary + $25k in tips. Their taxable income would decrease by about $6k (or $500/mo, 4% overall).

100%. I once tried to optimize a SQL query, moving away from the ORM, so I can have more control of the query structure and performance. I poorly implemented SOLID design principles, creating a complete mess of a SQL Factory, which made it

seems to be working in China. While many Chinese use VPN software, many don't bother with the friction and are fine just using rednote and friends.

what are those shares worth with the company gutted? Seems like not much of a choice if leadership and IP are gone...

I've wanted to get into swimming, but swimming requires a lot more planning (prepping a towel, getting changed, drying off, managing wet objects after). Whereas non-wet activities have similar requirements to my regular laundry managem

Is there information on EU vs US credit limits? How do the account fees compare between EU and US?

that is how I feel about exercise... spending 10 hours per week in my youth at a gym for 40 years to buy me an extra 10-20 years at the end of my life.

How would have applying moderation years ago enabled Itch and Steam to sell porn games today?

by itake 1y ago
Maybe USDC being public makes this a better time. I believe Steam tried to accept bitcoin, but the price fluctuations and slow transactions made it impossible for them to provide the level of service that set.

I didn’t have that take. My understanding is the only time you’re guaranteed to have low-cost ticket availability is when the flight is initially allowing booking. Later, as more tickets are sold they have more information about the flight

On the surface, I feel the same as you but as someone that bought a house three years ago at 5.5% interest and has only lost money on the property due to significant home repairs it really doesn’t feel great that my capital is just evaporat

We are in the early phase of VC fueled pollution. Its the same as when Uber launched. VCs suppress prices, to create demand ($5 Uber rides anywhere in the city) which generates more transactions, which generates more pollution. Instead of a

We definitely did have a shortage until about 2021. Code camps wouldn't exist if companies couldn't hire from a more qualified candidate pool.

I think you're conflating visas. The PhD would use the OTP and O-1 visas, not the h1b. The h1b candidate pool would be mostly undergrad and masters students.

During this period, many job opportunities went to h1b candidates, resulting in teams at FANGA companies with all 1 nationality. It would be fair to say that they couldn't find any american talent and thus needed to hire h1b workers, b

I don’t think these workers are competing directly with 100% of the population. How many unemployed Americans could be employed right now if there was less temporary workers?

by itake 1y ago
I think the point of this graph is to demonstrate that there is a large jumper of temporary workers and high unemployment. The program was to address labor shortages, and if we don’t have a labor shortage, then we should be reducing our tem

I think we are saying the same thing. Companies chase high risk high reward over low risk low reward. Presumably, curing a genetic disorder for a very small number of people using existing technology is low risk and low reward. > Why wou
